Bloomdido Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 No golden rule..... Just nothing. Once we can break away from belief then we will truly grow up as a species. Once we put down our children's toys. I agree. Faith is what people have when there is no fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitisbad Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 As a raw statement it's probably true. Advances in science have made possible all manner of destruction and disaster, from arson to the nuclear bomb. If you're happy to ignore everything good that was ever developed from science, you might even conclude that science is inherently harmful; but that would be very, very silly indeed. I'd like to counter that with all the wars, crusades, and jihads carried out by all different faiths throughought history, the persecution of scholars, academics, women, and homosexuals not to mention the covering up of child abuse carried out by organised religion and you think scientists are the bad ones?

sccsux Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I wouldn't brag about being an atheist That's not what the poster you quoted claimed to be. If you can do better than the Golden Rule which includes all flavours of opinion including Christianity let me know. Google "The Iron Rule vs Golden rule".

RootsBooster Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Heheheheh Grahame... I wonder where he got the idea for Agbus anyway, I've googled it and it doens't come up with much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agbus Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 That's not what the poster you quoted claimed to be. Google "The Iron Rule vs Golden rule". The Iron Rule is satanic like Joseph Stalin who ruled with an iron fist. God uses the rule of love, hence the Golden Rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Scientists have done more harm than anyone in my opinion. Penicillin, vaccinations, sanitation, mosquito control, clean water... I think that science and it's offshoots win comfortably on the good/bad scale. Compare that to the Inquisition, Crusades... well I could go on but it would be embarrassing.

RootsBooster Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The Iron Rule is satanic like Joseph Stalin who ruled with an iron fist. God uses the rule of love, hence the Golden Rule. ...apart from when he ruled by threats, intimidation, terrorism and massacres. I think that's already been done to death on enough threads though.
